The Permanent Secretary, Federal
Ministry of Communication Technology, Dr. Tunji Olaopa, has called on
the universities in Nigeria to constantly update their academic
curricula to reflect modern changes.
Olaopa spoke as a guest lecturer at
lecture organised in honour of professors Bayo Adekanye and John Ayoade
of the Political Science department of the University of Ibadan.
According to Olaopa, academic creativity
in adapting the curriculum of the discipline to issues and ideas is
critical and relevant to the national context.
He
said, “Our curriculum review procedures in the universities must be
made flexible and it must be updated regularly with regard to national
and global happenings. The political science curriculum as an example
must thus be oriented to active learning that will enable the students
to experience Nigeria and the world in the various methodologies and
theories that we teach.”
